That sucks. I had somebody try to pry into my back window a couple years ago in Orangevale. I bought a 2-way alarm the next day.
I never thought somebody would even bother trying to steal my $80 stereo, but I guess I could be wrong.
Also, somebody broke into my wife's car a couple years ago and stole her $35 PA / Animal sounds / Music machine. At least the control unit. They probably thought it was an equalizer. I would have LOVED to seen their reaction when they actually looked at it and saw the settings "frog, dog, cat, chicken". I actually thought it was hilarious that they stole it until I realized that they broke the ONE door lock cylinder on the entire car. If her keyless entry battery went dead and she wasn't near a store, she woulda been fucked.
Carrying a Concealed Firearm in California
In about 40 of the states, any law-abiding citizen may carry a concealed firearm. In two of these, a license is not required; in the others (“Shall Issue” states) the weapon license, or permit, MUST be granted. Two states (Wisconsin and Illinois) have no provision for concealed carry (these may change shortly). The remaining few are known as “May Issue” states, and permits are frequently granted, or refused, at the discretion of Sheriffs, Police Chiefs or Judges (depending upon state law).
California is a “May Issue” state; the decision to grant a CCW (Carry a Concealed Weapon) Permit being granted (or refused) at the discretion of the County Sheriff or Police Chief. Some sheriffs/chiefs issue on a reasonable basis, others can be next to impossible to persuade. Many of them operate illegal policies that are ripe for a challenge.
This site is designed to help California residents to understand the law concerning Concealed Carry Permits in California, how to determine whether you reside in a city or county in which it is relatively easy or difficult to obtain a permit and how to make the best of whatever situation in which you find yourself.
Second Amendment
Having a CCW is a privilege, not an entitlement, and the Courts have ruled that a Californian CCW is not guaranteed to anyone under the 2nd Amendment. However, the 14th (Due Process, Equal Protection) is extremely relevant, as many Sheriffs/Chiefs issue on a discriminatory basis.
Wh33lhop- Nope, that will be changing soon though. See, in most cases having full coverage is like throwing money away since e30 like any other old car in the eyes of insurance company is not worth fixing... I've been with AAA for 10+ years and they don't offer a "stated value". I'll probably have to switch.
Jean: California is an "open carry" state. You can carry your gun exposed, subject to check by law enforcement, as long as gun is not loaded. So, ammo/clip can be on other side of holster.
Same thing happened to my e30 right where I grew up. I bet it was some gangster kids too trying up their so called street-cred. Sad... Happened to me twice actually and I still worry about it daily and think more as to where I am parking. It does suck.
They actually stole all my work shit and I could have even been written up for it. I had to call each of my client's and apologize for a breech of confidential information. I bet they thought there was a laptop in it. But they didnt steel my wallet HAHAAHA stupids. And they did take my phone which was a model you could basically buy at a flea market for 10 bucks.
It murder time... Seriously. Never had a deck stolen, but I have had my car broken into and emptied.
The last time was perfect though. I had bought a coat from the place I was working, worn it once and put the tag in the pocket. It was a $600 coat.
On a whim, I figured since it got broken into 5 blocks from my work, that the d bag might try to return the coat for cash. And he did. Came in twice actually so that I was there. I arranged it with my other managers. With no receipt I got his ID etc. Told him I just had to get authorization for that big of a return. Went to the back called the popos and waited 5 min.
Once the cops got there, I realized he was wearing a shirt and sweater he stole out of my car too. My blood started boiling. Thank goodness he was already in cuffs and police present. Cop took the shirt and sweater off him, handcuffed him to a light pole outside my store. Mind you this is mid January at 8pm, so it was an easy 35 degrees.
Filed my full statement with the cop, found out he had a 540i/6, so we sat and talked cars for about 45 min while the d bag froze outside yelling that he was being battered and abused. lol
He got 13 months in jail. I lost about $500 in cds and a new 1/4 window ($200).
This was a fluke and almost like winning the lottery to catch a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles days after from a smash and grab.
Sorry, but justice gets served in many different ways my friend.
